[snip] . . . Scientology leader David Miscavige allegedly paid two private investigators about $500,000 each year since 1988 — a total of about $10 million to $12 million — to keep a close watch on Pat Broeker, a man who was Miscavige’s former rival for control of the church, according to the investigators’ attorney.

Those payments ended earlier this year, and now the two investigators, Paul Marrick and Greg Arnold, are suing Scientology for allegedly breaking promises that their jobs were permanent.
